The Bahrain Economic Development Board (EDB) has launched a newly developed iPhone application that enables users to have a quick glance at the Kingdom's economy.

Interested users can search for the new application in the Apple Store under the name Bahrain EDB, said a statement from the EDB.

It include interactive graphs and charts for 30 economic indicators, including gross domestic product, the labour market, trade, banking and finance, production, tourism and telecommunications.
